Nascar Driver Enters Pit Box Backwards And Makes Greatest Pit Stop Ever
Keselowski was entering the pits when he seemed to lock his rear wheels, causing him to spin 180 degrees. Incredibly, instead of being a total nightmare of a situation, he somehow managed to slide perfectly into his pit box. In fact, it was so on the money that instead of wasting time turning him around, his team simply carried out a perfectly legal ‘backwards’ pit stop before sending him on his way again.
OK, so it cost him a few positions but still - nicely done!
With Talladega being a restrictor plate race there’s always the potential for ‘The Big One’ and indeed, on the last lap, Kyle Larson was sent into an endless series of barrel rolls after being tagged by the car of Williams Byron.
Everyone involved was OK, but the combination of the massive crash and debris elsewhere on the track brought the race to a finish, with Chase Elliot claiming the victory.

Don’t remember this scene from Talladega Nights…
It’s from the extended cut
He didn’t choose thug life, thug life chose him 😛
Just a little FYI they stoped using restrictor plates now. I believe it’s currently throttle body tapers.

That was awesome! I saw it during the race
if anything has to spin out “near the crowd”, it has to be a mustang.
that moment when he went full mustang, then realized halfway that he need to keep it professional.
I love how the pit crew panicked for a second, but as soon as the car stopped though “Oh… ok cool, well that’s the side we wanted to work on anyway.” and carried on as normal
when regular pit-stops are boring, you get this
He deserves to wear this shirt:
shake and bake ricky bobby
Lmao
